C22 (1/2)
Not long after, the driver's heart was set ablaze by the mountain road.
The car's chassis kept grinding against the rugged mountain road.
Every time he heard it, the driver's expression changed.
His taxi was not a company's, it was his own, his own car, after experiencing such severe wear and tear, how could he not feel sorry for it?
However, the price had already been agreed upon, so it would not be good to raise the price midway.
Therefore, the driver kept nagging, ”This road isn't good. If we take this car, we'll need to spend at least two years …”
Hee Feng knew what the driver was thinking.
He also knew that the driver's words were reasonable. Running on these mountain roads would cause a lot of harm to the car, so he said, ”Alright, I'll give you another 200.”
Hearing this, the driver was overjoyed. Wear and tear was not a big deal. After earning 200 yuan, he couldn't help but reveal a smile that he hadn't seen in a long time.
They didn't say anything along the way.
The sky gradually darkened.
The driver drove to the village.
The rumble of the car soon attracted the attention of a large group of villagers.
It was a rare occurrence for a car to arrive in such a small mountain village.
There were no cars in the village, not even the Deadbeat Hee, the village chief.
When Hee Feng pulled Hee Lingling down from the carriage, the surrounding villagers started to whisper amongst themselves.
Those who had seen much of the world had already pointed out that this kind of car was a taxi. Although it could be ridden with money, it was still very expensive.
”Hee Feng this kid, only earned a hundred thousand yuan and he's already burned up. He's such a prodigal son …”
”That's right, if he continues like this, I'm afraid that his family won't be able to keep the pot boiling in just a few days.”
”It's too wasteful to take a taxi on such a small road …”
”
Hee Feng's current hearing far exceeded that of ordinary people, and was all thanks to the effects of the Heaven Opening Spell. He could clearly hear everyone's discussion.
Hee Feng pulled Hee Lingling's hand and walked through the crowd, but he seemed to be unhappy.
The mountain people never avoided speaking, even when they had obviously lowered their voices, the intelligent and discerning Hee Lingling still could hear their voices.
Even if one was unable to hear them, one could still guess what they were talking about just by looking at their exaggerated expressions and pointing at their actions.
Hee Lingling lowered her head, her face revealing a dejected expression.
She was blaming herself for spending most of her money on her today.
Seeing this, Hee Feng smiled and whispered into his ear: ”Ignore them, as long as you are too good. Moreover, brother has more money than you think.”
With that, she pulled Hee Lingling's hand and seemingly passed through the crowd.
After they left, sounds of discussions came from behind Hee Feng and Hee Lingling.
”Look at them, we didn't even bother to greet them. They're rude and uncultured.”
”That's right, he's much richer now. He's no longer interested in us poor villagers.”
”Let's wait here, let's see him build a building, watch him set up the wine, and then watch his building collapse, is that right?” That's what was said on the beach. ”
”The fall of a building is something that will happen sooner or later. You saw Xu Wenqiang. He was so awesome, but in the end, he was also done playing.”
”What food is this Hee Feng carrying?”
”I've never seen or eaten before.”
”This brat doesn't know how to give way. We won't eat him.”
”It means …”
”It means …”
